By expanding our teamwork even further, through support of the Code Adam program, our intent is to make an even greater impact nationwide in helping find missing children."

Last year EMCOR launched "Taking KidSafety to the Streets," a major, three-pronged national initiative that is an in-the-buildings and on-the-streets program designed to help find missing children across the country and promote child safety. Under this innovative program, EMCOR's national fleet of more than 6,000 service vehicles display NCMEC's posters of missing children, serving as moving billboards to increase public awareness of children reported as missing.

Because EMCOR's vehicles move daily from its 130 offices, to over 12,500 job sites and facilities, frequented by millions of people, in thousands of communities throughout the U.S., it is EMCOR's hope that this effort will exponentially increase the chances of finding missing children. Tailored to six different geographic zones encompassing the entire U.S., the posters are designed for maximum visibility and include NCMEC's 24-hour hotline number--1-800-THE-LOST.
